The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

At 7 p.m., the convoy finally stopped in a mountain valley.

Surrounded by mountains, it effectively blocks the cold winds from blowing in.

Not far from the convoy, there is a cave with a large entrance. If you walk a few steps inside, you can hear the sound of an underground river.

In order to find this place, Captain Wang deliberately made the convoy deviate from the original route and drive more than a kilometer further.

After dinner, Zhou Zhiming leaned close to Li Kaixin and whispered, "Master, what are the night watch arrangements for tonight?"

Because there were people in the back of the train, he didn't ask any questions all afternoon.

"Zhiming, you don't need to worry about keeping watch tonight. Just get some sleep." Li Kaixin put the lunchbox his apprentice had washed for him into his bag.

Zhou Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw the people still queuing up for food, thinking he understood.

He leaned closer: "Master, are they being sent to keep watch at night?"

"What are you thinking about, kid?"

Li Kaixin flicked his apprentice on the forehead and explained, "Tonight is to make sure you're well-rested. I'm going hunting in the mountains later, so you'll be driving tomorrow."

"What?"

Zhou Zhiming covered his head in surprise, then waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, Master, I can't do it. There are so many people in the car, I dare not drive."

"And it's too dangerous for you to go up the mountain so late at night."

"Don't you trust my abilities?" Li Kaixin smiled and continued, "As for you driving tomorrow, Captain Wang and I have already discussed it. This vehicle will only be loaded with some food and luggage."

"But..." Zhou Zhiming's face still showed hesitation.

"There's no 'but' about it!" Li Kaixin immediately interrupted his apprentice, saying earnestly, "Zhiming, you have to believe in yourself. You're my apprentice!"

Zhou Zhiming saw that his master had said this, and he also thought about his master's current status.

He took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Seeing that he had successfully brainwashed his apprentice, Li Kaixin patted him on the shoulder and got up to get a gun from the car.

With everything ready, Li Kaixin, carrying his gun, found Captain Wang and greeted him, "Captain Wang, I'm off to the mountain now."

"Wait, be happy."

Captain Wang quickly grabbed Li Kaixin, who was about to leave, as if he had made up his mind, "Why don't I go with you? The two of you can look after each other on the mountain."

"No need, having you around might distract me, which would be more dangerous." Li Kaixin smiled and shook her head, looking relaxed. "You just wait for my good news!"

After saying that, she gently pulled away from Captain Wang's hand, turned around, and strode quickly towards the distant mountain.

Captain Wang only looked away after Li Kaixin's figure had completely disappeared into the night.

He turned around and cleared his throat: "Apprentices, gather around. We'll arrange the night watch duties."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian, ​​Qian Dazhuang, and the other apprentices all moved closer to Captain Wang.

Once everyone was present, Captain Wang glanced around and his gaze fell on Zhou Zhiming: "Zhiming, go back to sleep. You don't need to keep watch tonight."

"Okay, Captain Wang." Zhou Zhiming replied and decisively turned and left the group.

Now that he knew he would be driving tomorrow, he stopped being coy and focused on getting enough rest.

The other apprentices, seeing this, were somewhat bewildered and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang were completely bewildered; they had been planning to team up with Zhou Zhiming to keep watch tonight.

"Quiet down, everyone." Captain Wang raised his hand and pressed down on the others. "Don't have any ideas. Zhiming has to drive tomorrow, so he needs to get some rest tonight. Now I'm assigning you tasks."

Although the apprentices no longer spoke to each other, they all still wore expressions of confusion.

After Captain Wang finished explaining the night watch arrangements, Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang couldn't resist asking Zhou Zhiming.

Only then did I realize that Zhou Zhiming was going to drive for his master tomorrow.

As for why Li Kaixin went hunting in the mountains, Zhou Zhiming simply shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

After Li Kaixin went up the mountain, he found a secluded cave by moonlight, lit a fire, set up several traps at the cave entrance, and then lay down to sleep.

I had absolutely no intention of going hunting.

In this desolate wilderness, even if there were prey, Li Kaixin wouldn't dare to wander around at night.

If you accidentally step on or touch something poisonous, you'll have no one to blame but yourself.

His previous words were just to fool Captain Wang and others who had never hunted before.

The prey had already planned ahead; all they needed to do was get a hybrid pig that looked like a wild boar from the secret realm.

Before I knew it, it was four in the morning.

Li Kaixin flashed into the secret realm again, slept for two hours, and then took out a pig weighing about 300 jin and some yams to take back.

By the time they dragged these things back to the convoy, it was already 5:30 in the morning, and the sky was gradually brightening.

The three apprentices on night watch were feeling sleepy when they looked up and saw Li Kaixin pushing a huge object toward them. They couldn't help but scream in surprise.

This shout immediately woke up the master and apprentice who were still fast asleep.

The drivers of the transport team thought they had been attacked, so they grabbed their guns and rushed off the truck. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Li Kaixin dragging a big wild boar.

"Good heavens!" Captain Wang holstered his gun and strode forward, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the wild boar. "Kaixin, you're amazing! I didn't have much hope going into the mountains at night, but you actually brought back such a big wild boar!"

The other craftsmen also gathered around, praising him enthusiastically.

Master Guo crouched down, reached out and touched the bullet hole in the wild boar's body, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Killed it with one shot? Wow, your marksmanship is amazing!"

Master Chen stood to the side, watching with a smile, his face full of pride.

"Master Guo, it's all just luck; I just happened to hit it," Li Kaixin said modestly, then turned and pointed to the bundle of yams behind him. "Captain Wang, these yams were also dug up on the mountain; they can serve as a backup food supply."

"Okay, okay!" Captain Wang responded repeatedly, a huge weight finally lifted from his heart, and his face lit up with a smile. "Kaixin, you've been working hard all night, go and get some rest, leave the rest to us!"

Li Kaixin didn't refuse much and turned to walk towards her car.

When Zhou Zhiming saw his master return to the car, he didn't follow him but stayed behind to help deal with the wild boar.

The transport team first worked together to carry the wild boar into the cave, and then began to butcher it.

Before Li Kaixin dragged the pig down the mountain, he had already bled it and cleaned its internal organs, so it didn't take much effort from everyone.

Inside the cave, Captain Wang, seeing that the food shortage had been resolved, stopped hiding it from the apprentices and told them about the current situation, asking them to share the surplus food.

As Captain Wang's apprentice, Wu Tian was naturally the first to respond. Seeing this, the other apprentices followed suit without hesitation.
